I enjoy the mountains which is one of the reasons I live in Charlottesville. I hike and run on trails and have completed a couple of trail races. I'm looking for an active man who likes to hike, run, and camp. At the same time, he needs to be an intellectual person who is curious and always wanting to learn. Currently, I am completing my last pre-requisite classes to begin nursing school this fall. Previous jobs include paralegal, newspaper reporter, and college admissions counselor. I prefer a man who drinks few to no alcoholic beverages; who eats healthful foods; who has done some introspection and/or personal growth work; and who values a strong and independent woman who is with a man because she wants to be, not because she needs to be.
